Bowens gets trigger happy

27/05/11

‘The Pulsar Tx is the smallest, most powerful and reliable radio trigger in its class’: Robert Cook, Bowens marketing director.

So are you ready to take your best shot?

Bowens is set to launch the Pulsar Tx - the smallest most powerful radio trigger in its class.

The ultra-compact Tx will retail at £79.99 (inc VAT) and boasts a new, discreet ‘camera-hugging’ low profile that ensures photographers can shoot normally,without fear of their camera becoming unbalanced.

Robert Cook, Bowens marketing director said: “This new radio trigger system eliminates the need for sync cords – so that’s one less wire for clients and colleagues to trip over.

The new unit incorporates an industry standard ISO 518 hotshoe mount, guaranteeing compatibility with the widest range of cameras but with a unique new ‘click-lock’ system.

This innovation allows photographers to simply click and lock the Pulsar in place without the need for further tightening via a thumbscrew.
The ‘click-lock’ holds the trigger in place whether the camera is being used in landscape or portrait position – and there’s no loss of connection, as with some heavier triggers of the past.
And functionality couldn’t be easier.

The Tx is controlled by just two simple push buttons allowing full control over the 24 radio zones and the test flash function. And this trigger boasts a ‘shooting range’ of at least 25 metres, weighs in at just 34g and runs from a single, small CR2032 battery.”

The new power management system built-in to the Tx is designed to extend battery life by making sure the unit is always in low-power mode until the user triggers the camera or decides to change a setting.

Cook added: “Bowens was an early adopter of radio trigger technology and in the Pulsar range we have one of the most widely used systems worldwide. But we are not resting on our laurels. We have listened to photographers’ needs and with the Tx we have developed what we believe is the smallest, lightest and most powerful camera-top solution to enable users to fire flash lights without being inconvenienced by extra technology. The new Pulsar Tx ensures that we remain at the very forefront of flash control technology.”

The new Tx is available from the end of June and Bowens will also offer a special Tx ‘Bundle pack’ comprising the Pulsar Tx unit and Pulsar Rx Card at
£139.99 (inc VAT).
